Emma Watson has admitted that she is "uncertain" about whether her future lies in acting and that she has no use for her £10million fortune.

The 18-year-old actress, who gained worldwide fame playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, said she had never considered a career in films until she was given the part.

She said: "It's weird because I've always felt uncertain that acting is what I wanted to do, especially compared to (co-stars) Dan (Radcliffe) and Rupert (Grint).

"I think that's because I was nine years old when I was given the part without even going to acting school. Just because this has happened to me doesn't necessarily mean it's the right thing," she told The Daily Mail.

"I didn't know I wanted to be an actress, they just found me out of nowhere. So it's taken me a little while to work out that this was what I wanted to do - well, for now."

"I've come from a background of lawyers and academics. We didn't watch films in our household. I mean, I had no idea who Maggie Smith or Gary Oldman or any of these people were. So I'm educating myself by watching more films and becoming very passionate about them. But it doesn't necessarily mean I'll be acting forever.'
